    The timer went crazy when it said 9:05. Might mean September 5th? May 9th? Mike being a Trollnoda?

    Guess I can wait as nothing happened. May have to wait another 100 hours or till 2nd week of September.

    Edit -let me rephrase that - something did happen but it wasn't what I expected.

    This is a good point, may refer to September 5th.

    The fact this isn't just a straightforward countdown and is more of a cryptic puzzle with a hint of trolling is in many ways a true confirmation that LP is back. Exciting times, even if we gotta wait a bit longer.

    I like this perspective. Let them do their thing!

    It's a little disappointing that the countdown was for nothing, but we have waited this long. What's just a little longer?

    My guess is it will count back up to 100 and it will glitch again, possibly revealing more and then count down back to 0, which will be on September 5th where then something may finally get announced, like a new single.

    It's funny as I'm so used to LP doing their cryptic messages and puzzles during big album or song releases in the past and had fond memories of reading all of the LPA posters theories before something was revealed. This feels like old times and it's nice to experience that feeling again.

    200 hours would place it on the 5th of September (at least in my time zone)...not the most outlandish thing I've heard. Maybe!

    Another thing is the short video on the band's social media star with -5 sec then the glich happens at zero and ends with 9 sec. My guess is new music on September 5th.

    So it's gonna count back up to 100 hours and then back down again?

    Yeah the whole timing of 100 hours up and down ending on September 5th fits perfectly with that theory.

    100Hours = 4,17 days. it's 09/01/24 not 09/05/24

    A cryptic fakeout with a breadcrumb attached?
    They must be feeling good about this to be returning to this form of announcements.

    The hardest part of ending is starting again.

    100 hours up and down. Not just 100 hours.

    100 hours count up = 09/01/24, followed by 100 countdown = 09/05/24.

    Add in the glitch at 9.05 and the bands social media also hinting at that with the -5 seconds to +9 second clip it all adds up.

    The Fibonacci sequence is a numerical sequence in which each term from the third onward is the sum of the two preceding terms. I Think i got it. 100 Hours, Now 200Hours. Finish in 09/05/24. So much crazy? lol

    edit: The Fibonacci sequence is represented by the letter phi (ϕ)

    It just did a little glitching like it did at zero, as seen in their post here:



    EDIT: Apparently I learned how to embed :lol:

    During the 00:00:00 glitch I saw this at the bottom of the screen. Might be reaching here, but there are brighter minds than mine here.
